Waldbuhne,+Berlin,+Germany

The **Waldbühne** was built in 1936 as part of the preparation for the Berlin Olympics. The tarraces were molded into the glacial river banks of the Berlin glacial valley. It is a reproduction of the old theater of Epidaurus (3rd century BC). The theater was then named "Dietrich-Eckart-Bühne" in homage to Dietrich Eckart.

Seating for up to 25,000 spectators goes down to a depth of 30 metres (97 ft); in the middle section Adolf Hitler's box once stood. The surroundings were decorated with statues by Adolf Wamper. During the Olympics, gymnastics competitions and a myriad of cultural programs were staged in the Waldbühne.

Today, it is used as one of Europe's biggest concert venues. The Berlin Philharmonic has staged the Waldbühne concert in June every year since 1984. Since 2009, its operator has been CTS Eventim. //Source: Wikipedia//
